Message:
Not a horrible situation but I'm in the middle of a 2 week trip in AZ/UT with my family and I have a blown RR shock on a 2022 f150. Limited connectivity in camp but it looks like Page AZ has more parts/repair options than Kanab UT (my 2 closest options. Any suggestions for a reliable shop is appreciated!!

I’m not real familiar with the area but I’d think Kanab is old be the better bet. It’s closer to a larger metro area if someone dosnt have what you need.
I’m 2.5 hrs from you in St George.

Is it just a stock style replacement? There’s a few parts stores in Page. If not I’m in Flagstaff and we have a few stores also

Albeit a bit of a distance, Summit 4x4 in Prescott would be an excellent resource and does great work, 928-227-2026.

Thanks for checking in. It's a fox 2.0 smooth body. FOX98524265 I think it's serviceable
I'm not super concerned with exact replacement or repair. With 3 others in the vehicle and many miles to go I just want to ride right and safe. The original shocks are sitting on a shelf at my shop in Western NY:) I think the plan right now is to try page and then on to moab. I need to drop the family in Denver Sunday to drive home.

Hi Roger, thanks for the referral. I wouldn't mind the drive but that's pretty much the opposite direction we are heading. I'd like to try to keep heading north, eventually to Denver to drop my family off. They fly home and then I drive home from there

Where in Marble Canyon are you? If you need a local for a ride give me a call. I bet up in Page you could get a replacement shock off the shelf that is the right length at least. Brady at lees ferry lodge in vermillion cliffs might be able to lend you a hand. I'm Scott, give me a call if you need. 928-793-9837

Hey Scott, we're still mobile. I've been calling around page without much luck. Thinking of heading to st George for some of the off road shops there. If I can get my hands on parts it's a pretty easy swap

We are headed north on house rock road, should be getting close to ut border. I think we're flipping a coin at the 89, west to kinab or east to page

I think I closed it? I got a confirmation message. Maybe it needs another step on your end?
